Automotive Radar Sensing with Sparse Linear Arrays Using One-Bit Hankel Matrix Completion

원문 초록

The design of sparse linear arrays has proven instrumental in the implementation of cost-effective and efficient automotive radar systems for high-resolution imaging. This paper investigates the impact of coarse quantization on measurements obtained from such arrays. To recover azimuth angles from quantized measurements, we leverage the low-rank properties of the constructed Hankel matrix. In particular, by addressing the one-bit Hankel matrix completion problem through a developed singular value thresholding algorithm, our proposed approach accurately estimates the azimuth angles of interest. We provide comprehensive insights into recovery performance and the required number of one-bit samples. The effectiveness of our proposed scheme is underscored by numerical results, demonstrating successful reconstruction using only one-bit data.
